que tion as regards the several ten hour bills,
namely: The so-called Looney, Weymouth

Mr. Shaw opened the case for the knights
and made a general statement of the case
and said the Knights regarded the Heath bill
as more nearly embodying their ideas than
any other.
MIR. Bickford offered brief remarks. He
endorsed the Heath bill, especially that por-

can be employed at 10 wears. He believed

rebate for carload lots During the month
of March, although the card rate remained
at $2.7O per key, nails were selling much
below this price, in some instances sales
being reported as low as $500. At the
monthly meeting of the Western Associa-
ton in March the card rate was allowed to
remain at g. 20, although sales were being
made below this rate.
Bradstreers gives this as the cause OF the
decline in the trade:
The growth of the nail industry during
recent years has been out of all proportion
to the increare in the demand. At one
time this was one of the most profitable
branches of the iron trade, but such is not
the case to-day. In the spring, when new
building operations are going on, especially
in the West, the demand for nails is gre eater
than at any other time, and IN former
wears the nail mills were usually kept busy
at this period supplying the demand. The
stock of nails was generally very small,
manufacturers finding their production
absorbed as fast as made. During the
present year, however, manufacturers OF
nails are feeling the competition OF many
nail machines. The demand this spring,
although probably of no smaller proper
tiOns than in previous years, - not sutll-
cient to consume all the nails produced,
so that a number of manufacturers are
compelled to stock up part Of their
output of the past few months. In 1883
and 1886 the strike of the nailers IN the
western mills, which lasted over year, IN
a measure tended to relieve the market by
the forced idleneSs for many months OF
many of the mills in this district, the east
ern mills sending large quantities Of their
nails into the west. During the present
year the iron trade is free from strikes, so
that the entire product of the nail mills is
available for consumption. Consumers,
feeling that there is not likely to be any
scarity of nails, are not buying rs freely
for their wants as they have done in pre-
vious years. Another factor in the nail
question is the competition that is brought
about by the wire nail, which for some
purposes is preferred by consumers to the
cut nail, and the manufacture Ofwire nails
is extending, though for many purposes II
is not superSeding the cut nail.

WHAT'S To BE DoNEwIrmruEMt

WHAT Is To BE DONE WITH TTIEMf
News from New York says: The rush
OF immigrants from Europe to this land OF
freedom and prosperity is Just now OF ire
mendous proportions, altogether unparal-
leled since the days of 40 and 80, when
starvation in Ireland forced the population
of that country into precipitate flight.
Other causes are now driving them to new
homes on this side the ocean in almost rs
great numbers a. then. Already this year
more than -, 900 Irish have arrived at Cas-
tie Garden, and the iDtOwiug stream is III
crcasing in proportion weekly. Up to
April the arrivals from all countries were
30, 80, of whom 5.T71 were from Ireland.
During April there were 5I,235 arrivals.
They have not vet been classified but the
proportion OF Irish is greater. The immi-
grafton shows no indications Of abauug,
the total for last week being II, 9l9 against
9,llO for the same week last year. Thus
lar this year 133, IL immigrants have been
landed at Castle Garden against -, I&G for
the same period last yea-. The principal
steamship lines are overburdcned with inn
migrant business, the Cunard and White
Star lines employing extra steamships to
accommodate it, q"
The immigration from Ireland will No
doubt keep at high water mark for some
time. The prospect is that The British
government will pass the Coercion bill and
will rule the Irish with more tyranny than
ever And, too, in the past few years, it
has taken all the assistance Americans
could give to keep thousands OF Irish FAM
lies from eviction aud intense suffering
But Americans are coming to see that send
ing money to Ireland is merely giving that
much more to the landlords and they are
getting tired of it since the condition Of
those intended to he benefited Is not I'M
proved. This will cause greater immigra-
ton to America.
But the question is what is America
with many men already unemployed, going
TO do with all the new corners Of various
natiOnalitieS?
